Arduino at Maker Faire Rome Featured

Maker Faire Rome is the biggest in Europe, and Arduino enjoys to be there and receives a lot of attention from attendees.

Our company is always excited about Maker Faire Rome. We love to see what Italian makers have to offer! This year Maker Faire Rome was full of amazing projects, new products launched by start ups and big companies. We can certainly say that Italy is the country of innovations, where art, media and technologies intertwine.

In Rome, we stayed true to our style, therefore, the booth had cardboard tables and lattice wall made out of Arduino logos. We love sustainable design! Big Arduino flag was welcoming people to our booth. We are sure that nobody missed it. We presented great demos of Arduino Otto. The lamp that could be controlled via screen was very popular among children, they wanted to try and play with it. Another amazing demo was controlled LED dress - everybody’s favorite!

As Arduino is an Italian company, there were many devoted fans who came to the booth. However, many people were new to this technology and asked many questions. Two Arduino engineers had presentations during the weekend. The fist one, on October 15th, was devoted to Arduino STAR Otto, the second one, on October 16th, introduced people to new Arduino products and new directions of the company. We are proud to say that each time all sits in the room were occupied. We are grateful for every listener.

Booth visitors enjoyed the game that connected two Arduino booths and booths of our partners: they had to collect stamps on canvas bags in a few booths in the pavilion 7, and them come to our booth in pavilion 8 to received the Arduino notebook.

Overall, the Maker Faire New York was a very busy event, as it’s the biggest Maker Faire in Europe. We love to be in Italy, the birth place of Arduino, and we are already looking forward to the next one!
